ASCII character set | ASCII-tegnsæt (A standard 7-bit code for representing ASCII characters using binary values; code values range from 0 to 127.

character style | tegntypografi (A combination of any of the character formatting options identified by a style name) |
composite character | sammensat tegn (A text element consisting of a base character and a diacritic or accent mark. Although most common in the Latin script, other scripts (including Greek, Devanagari, and Tamil) also have composite characters) |

extended character | udvidet tegn (Any of the 128 additional characters in the extended ASCII (8-bit) character set. These characters include those in several non-English languages, such as accent marks, and special symbols used for creating pictures) |

magnetic ink character recognition line A line of characters that is encoded with a special type of ink that can be magnetized and then translated into characters. MICR lines are used on bank checks to identify the bank, account, and check | MICR-linje (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition-linje) |
multibyte character set A mixed-width character set, in which some characters consist of more than 1 byte. An MBCS is used in languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, where the 256 possible values of a single-byte character set are not sufficient to represent all possible characters | tegnsæt med flere byte (MBCS) |
neutral character | neutralt tegn (A character that does not have strong right-to-left or left-to-right language attributes) |
non-printable character | tegn, der ikke kan udskrives (A character used to control the format of displayed or printed information, rather than to represent a particular letter, digit, or other special character. The space () is one of the more important nonprinting characters) |
non-spacing character | diakritisk tegn (A character, such as diacritic, that has no meaning by itself, but overlaps a base character to modify it) |
null character | null-tegn (" A character code with a null value; literally, a character meaning "nothing." Although it is real in the sense of being recognizable, occupying space internally in the computer, and being sent or received as a character, a NUL character displays nothing, takes no space on the screen or on paper, and causes no specific action when sent to a printer. In ASCII, NUL is represented by the character code 0. ") |

special character | specialtegn (A character that is not found on your keyboard and must be inserted from within the software or by pressing a combination of keys on your keyboard) |
